Touring the city...
Hello again!
Now it would be very inappropriate of me if I did not post any pictures of the city (O.K., the greater area of the city) I live in.
Here is a link to a slideshow with pictures I took during my stroll around Plaka and surrounding areas a few days ago. Plaka is the area below the Acropolis and it is very beautiful with all these old, 2-floor houses, narrow streets and archaeological sites almost everywhere.
The pictures are all about...ruins (the good kind!, mostly the Roman Agora) and the resolution is low (again my dial-up connection). There are also some comments on what you see and/or what I intended to show to you!
Pictures of sites
Funny thing: As I was walking around Plaka, equipped with my camera, my cap, shorts and T-shirt, I felt like a tourist in my own country and the numerous "Hello" (In English!!) I kept on hearing from shop-owners in the area confirmed my fears!!
And as Émile reminded me with his fine example, is anybody interested in postcards?
Please send e-mails with addresses! It is only one country, but at least I will try not to be just one place....
Update: As you can see, now there is a title for this post. How could I miss it before? Maybe it is just the fact that we had around 39 °C yesterday...

ooooh, I love the Plaka! It's a nice neighbourhood in a city I don't really like. I do however, adore your photos! Enjoy your stay...
Andrea: I mostly agree. Although walking around the city (at least most archaeological sites) has improved, still traffic and noise remain. (Unless you decide to do it this time of year when most people have left the city. There is just this tiny issue of... heat!
ooh! that's so cool. now, i really want to go to greece!
anyway, thanasis, if you haven't done so already, you should change the link you have for my blog to the new blog.
